I have NO additional information about this; I'm simply cross-posting from another site,The Basenji Native Traits Preservation Project :

http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/BNTPP/

Hi all,

I have written a few posts and had an article printed in the Basenji
about some testing we developed for hunting traits in basenjis. I had
asked for a little help with the testing and for volunteer dogs with
the testing being conducted on one or two days during the Nationals.
I received a couple of calls and well wishes for the project but
nobody has really stepped forward.

I'm fine with it if nobody is really interested; I just don't really
have the time to set this all up and not have any dogs to test. So, I
am throwing out one last request for help and dogs. Feel free to
cross post this request. If I don't get any significant response by
9/10/07 I will have to shut the testing program down for the time being.

@jkent said in 4 months old and difficult potty training:

sometimes just looks at me when I give her the command to eat it, not understanding.

She might be confused about the signals. Try eating a cracker while she's watching and then, setting her bowl down and telling her it's "okay" to eat. In the dog world, the boss (Alpha dog, or leader) eats first. Then the other dog(s) get to eat.

My first basenji ..well all 3...slept with me and it was never an issue. When I was gone, the first 2 were crated. The first wasn't destructive...except to every dog on the planet except my male Rottweiler. So crate or death...she was crated. The 2nd one, her niece, was destructive. She never outgrew it. I swear she had scissors in her mouth. No chew toy etc.helped. My third was a snap. I could leave her alone in the bedroom with the door closed and never an issue for 8 years. Then we moved to Israel and I stupidly moved into an apartment and went out , not thinking about how stressed she was, and came home to mass destruction. She discovered a real love for foam mattresses, pillows etc...and electric cords. A risk I'll never take with her.

So don't be stupid like me. If your dog is stressed, big changes at home ...which may include a new baby initially, consider recrating or super fortify the dog area.

By the way, having the baby sleep on a blanket or towel you can then put in the dog sleeping area will help get them used to the scent.

And btw, congratulations on the upcoming baby. 🍼

You have only had him a week and by 6 months he has had time to get just a little bit set in his ways ! Give it time and work at it. Lots of love, patience and understanding.

And talk to his breeder. As you didn't get him until he was 6 months old (shame you lost at least 4 months of sheer delight !) I expect you have imported him from another country ?

Sarge uses his cell phone and calls me.....seriously, it depends on the door. One he can open himself by pulling down the handle the others he just scratches.

@roguecoyote Good for you ! I swear by a Gentle Leader as a training tool. A week or so on one and then a day on a normal collar and lead and they trot along fine. They go back on the GL from time to time just as a refresher. You are controlling their head and that is very important.
